Mammonite Pillar #4: Feminism
There is a common misconception shared by both pro and anti-feminists. That is, feminism is about "female empowerment."
That may have been true in a bygone era; today feminism is nothing more than a cheap cash grab.
By the 1980s, many feminists learned that simply demanding more "rights" wasn't sufficient. Women needed to be "self sufficient" in order to be "liberated" from men. Of course, achieving that self sufficiency meant...money.
Freedom = working for a corporation for money.
It is a rare sight today to see a feminist who isn't gung ho about her job or business. The obvious reason is that by acquiring money, the feminist can live a materialistic lifestyle. She doesn't have to worry about her controlling husband restricting her spending - and in the case of a divorce, she won't become desperate.
Despite the fact only a small minority of people proclaim themselves feminists, this tenet of feminism is already internalized by the majority.
And so, Mammon lives on!
